Abstract
Terminal deletions of chromosome 3q are associated with a heterogenous clinical phenotype, which includes growth restriction, developmental delay, and intellectual disability. However, little has been published on the ophthalmic impacts of chromosome 3q deletions. We report a 9-year-old boy with a 1.4 megabase deletion of 3q27.1q27.2 whose ocular morbidities included retinal detachment in one eye, vitreous hemorrhage in the other eye, and foveal hypoplasia in both eyes that required acute care and continuous ophthalmologic follow-up.
